2016 Crittenden Estate Zumma Chardonnay

The fruit is sourced from the Zumma block planted in ‘87, whole-bunch pressed to French oak barriques (40% new), wild yeast ferment, some batonnage during its 11 months’ maturation and 30% malolactic fermentation. A balanced mix of stone fruit, ginger flower and spice, nougat and creamed honey, all those really satisfying and complex solidsy elements.
